| Egypt's criminal court adjourns trial of Muslim Brotherhood leaders |
| 2013-12-10 |
| [Al Ahram] Giza's criminal court on Monday postponed the trial of top Moslem Brüderbund leaders to 11 February so that it can study the case and declare witnesses. The group of defendants include some of the most high-ranking members of the Islamist group, such as Supreme Guide Mohammed Badie, Essam El-Erian and Mohammed El-Beltagy, all of whom stood for the trial's first session on Monday on charges of murder and inciting violence, in connection with armed festivities on 15 July which left five dead in Giza. Among the 14 co-defendants in the case facing similar allegations are preacher Safwat Hegazy and Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya leader Assem Abdel-Maged, who is still on the lam. |
